Is drinking a bottle of wine four nights a week a problem?

If someone drank a full bottle of wine to relax 4 nights a week every week would you consider that a drink problem? Even if they functioned properly still worked still took care of their family etc. Would they be kidding themselves to think that this is a normal and acceptable way to relax?

Yes. It is a problem.
Not as big as some alcohol problems. It is great that you have some nights off in the week.

How do we vote?

Not sure which is which.

Either way, yes I’d say they had a drink problem.

Is a good for you? No.

Is it a problem? More nuanced. Is it just routine, or could you stop with no bother at all? What happens if you have half a bottle, or a single glass? Do you feel like you need it?

It's me and someone has said something I don't want to give too much information. I'm just wondering if its a problem when there's no problem
